A £15 billion cash boost will be used to tackle more than 100 of the most notorious problem hotspots on England's roads by the end of the decade, David Cameron will announce.

The Prime Minister will tell business leaders that hundreds of extra lane miles will be created on motorways and trunk roads as part of a "roads revolution" that will speed up journey times.

Plans to build a tunnel under Stonehenge have reportedly been looked at by the Government to help ease congestion on the A303 and the route to the south west is among those that is set to benefit from the cash.

CBI WANTS TAX CUT FOR LOW PAID

A leading business group has revealed its "radical" blueprint for improving living standards, including raising the threshold when workers pay National Insurance, and expanding free childcare.

The CBI said the squeeze on household budgets over the past few years "cannot go on" for ever as it unveiled a series of plans for a Better Off Britain.

Director General John Cridland conceded that many of the recommendations could have come from trade unions, but business wanted economic growth to work for everyone.

British banker Rurik Jutting is to undergo psychiatric tests to determine if he is fit to stand trial for the murders of two Indonesian women.

Cerys Marie Yemm, 22, died from her injuries at Sirhowy Arms Hotel, a homeless hostel in Argoed, Blackwood, south Wales, in the early hours of Thursday morning.

LABOUR BID TO REGROUP AFTER TURMOIL

Labour's leadership will seek to refocus the party today as its MPs meet in the wake of days of intense speculation over Ed Miliband's future.

The Opposition leader is to make a speech to business leaders setting out the dividing lines between Labour and the Conservatives over the European Union as he vies to regain the political agenda.

MPs, meanwhile, will gather for their regular meeting in the House of Commons to discuss party matters amid deep unrest within the ranks and claims that 20 shadow ministers are poised to call on Mr Miliband to quit.

'LOW PAY FUELLING CALLS TO QUIT EU'

Businesses must create decent jobs and tackle low pay to stop Britain being dragged out of the European Union, Ed Miliband will say today.

The Labour leader will tell the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) the economic recovery is "joyless" for many and is fuelling Euroscepticism.

Only major reforms of the way the economy operates, including an end to the poor wages and bad contracts for low skilled workers that have driven EU migration, will stave off the forces that offer "false solutions", he will claim.

UNDER-25S HAVING WEIGHT LOSS OPS

Hundreds of people under the age of 25 underwent weight loss surgery in the last three years, a major study has found.

The National Bariatric Surgery Registry (NBSR) said 108 men and 462 women aged 24 or under had obesity operations between 2011 and 2013, including 62 people under the age of 18.

It found more than 65% of obese patients with type two diabetes showed no sign of the condition two years after weight loss surgery, which includes gastric band, gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy operations.

PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT 'VARIED'

Treatment and quality-of-life care for the most common form of cancer found in men varies "worringly" across the country, campaigners have suggested.

Reacting to a first-of-its-kind audit of prostate cancer services across England and Wales, Owen Sharp, chief executive of Prostate Cancer UK, called for services to be improved "without delay".

The National Prostate Cancer Audit, which issued its first report today, found four out of five hospitals in England offered the most advanced radiotherapy and only half provided the support services men may need to manage side-effects.

PM FACES EU ARREST WARRANT REVOLT

David Cameron is facing the prospect of a large rebellion from backbench Conservatives as MPs prepare to vote on whether Britain should opt in to the European Arrest Warrant (EAW).

It has been suggested that as many as 100 Tories could vote against rejoining a range of European Union police and criminal justice measures including the EAW today.

Ahead of a potentially bruising encounter in the Commons, Home Secretary Theresa May has reiterated her support for the arrest warrant, warning that if Britain did not sign up to it other EU countries could refuse to extradite wanted criminals to the UK.

FESTIVE REMAKE FOR BAND AID SINGLE

A staple of the Christmas jukebox will be given another festive makeover, when stars from the music world collaborate for the 30th anniversary of Band Aid.

Boomtown Rats frontman Sir Bob Geldof and Ultravox's Midge Ure are today expected to announce the line-up for this year's offering - the fourth recording of the song Do They Know It's Christmas?

The track, comprising almost entirely British and Irish musicians and performers, was originally released in 1984 to raise £8 million for famine-affected Ethiopia.
